The Art of Conversation: A Collaborative Community Arts Project on Social Change
This presentation describes a student-guided community arts research project. Our project explores curriculum design that began by actively engaging contemporary art processes   dealing with collaboration and social change. Inspired by the practices of artists Sophie Calle and Vik Muniz’s Waste Land, we initially developed a mixed methods research design that intertwines art, ethnography, and memoir.   We made connections with community members, including underrepresented and underprivileged members, and we researched potential public exhibition spaces that would engage the broader community. We are currently working to collaboratively generate visual and linguistic data, which will be transformed into dynamic artworks and exhibited in local, public spaces this summer or fall. Afterwards, we will develop formal lesson plans suggesting ideas for art teachers to use in PK-12 classrooms. During our presentation, we will share our research design, our interactions with various community members, the artwork and exhibition, and lessons. Lesson plans will be provided.

STEAMing Ahead:  Art, Science and the Common Core
STEAMing Ahead:  Art, Science and the Common Core:
 Inspired to integrate the arts with science, technology, engineering and math by the Rhode Island School of Design and the STEM to STEAM movement, the Lawrence Arts Center developed ArtSpace, an arts integration program that draws upon common core principles and public school math and science curricula to create engaging, innovative courses that meet national standards for arts education, science and math. Based on the ideas that critical thinking, problem solving, flexibility, adaptability, and a knack for innovation are essential skills,  ArtSpace students apply mathematical concepts and scientific principles in art studios, dance studios and the stage. Designed by a team of art and science educators, the program trains students to practice innovation by putting ideas into practice.  Now in its third year, ArtSpace sets the stage to develop future leaders in industry, business and the arts by building creative connections across disciplines.  This session summarizes the thinking behind the program, outlines how the program works and offers example lesson plans.

Voices from the field: Promoting a creative environment
Art teachers are constantly challenged to design productive and creative learning environments, especially now given the standardized testing climate and the nation’s uncertain economy. This presentation will discuss the recent results of a qualitative and quantitative research study that explores how K-12 art teachers, including early and late career educators, teaching in a large Mid-western metropolitan area, promote creativity in their classes. The presentation aims to provide a snap shot of art educators’ creativity beliefs, how these beliefs might dovetail with curriculum strategies, and the sample’s ideas concerning creative curriculum strategies. Finally, the presentation will address current art education practices and ideas found in the literature of art education, psychology, and general education concerning creative thinking environments.

Teaching Art with Technology
As a teacher at a 1:1 iPad grant schools, art education can look a little different. This workshop will provide insight on great art apps you can use in the room, how to support traditional art topics with technology, and share a few lessons and procedures from a mostly digital classroom in the Turner school district. This is a must see if you have access to a cart of computers or iPads or if you are just struggling to understand technology in the way that your students do. From my experience, technology in the art room can help your students plug in to the curriculum in a format they are comfortable with using!
